Answer:

A. Identify the need, recognize limitations of current toothpaste containers, and then brainstorm ideas on how to improve the existing

Explanation:

To design an improved toothpaste container, we must identify the needs of the customer, one of the major need is to make the container attractive to the sight. This is the first thing that will prompt a customer to wanting to buy the product (The reflectance/appearance).

Then recognize the limitation of the current design, what needed change. This will help in determining what is needed to be included and what should be removed based on identified customers need.

The last step is to brainstorm ideas on how to improve the existing designs. Get ideas from other colleagues because there is a saying that two heads are better than one. This will help in coming to a reasonable conclusion on the new design after taking careful consideration of people's opinion.

A hot brass plate is having its upper surface cooled by impinging jet of air at temperature of 15°C and convection heat transfer

gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

809.98°C

Explanation:

STEP ONE: The first step to take in order to solve this particular Question or problem is to find or determine the Biot value.

Biot value = (heat transfer coefficient × length) ÷ thermal conductivity.

Biot value = (220 × 0.1)÷ 110 = 0.2.

Biot value = 0.2.

STEP TWO: Determine the Fourier number. Since the Biot value is greater than 0.1. Tis can be done by making use of the formula below;

Fourier number = thermal diffusivity × time ÷ (length)^2.

Fourier number = (3 × 60 × 33.9 × 10^-6)/( 0.1)^2 = 0.6102.

STEP THREE: This is the last step for the question, here we will be calculating the temperature of the center plane of the brass plate after 3 minutes.

Thus, the temperature of the center plane of the brass plane after 3 minutes = (1.00705) (0.89199) (900- 15) + 15.

= > the temperature of the center plane of the brass plane after 3 minutes = 809.98°C.

A cylinder fitted with a frictionless piston contains 2 kg of R-134a at 3.5 bar and 100 C. The cylinder is now cooled so that th

inna [77]

Answer:

The answer to the question is

The heat transferred in the process is -274.645 kJ

Explanation:

To solve the question, we list out the variables thus

R-134a = Tetrafluoroethane

Intitial Temperaturte t₁ = 100 °C

Initial pressure = 3.5 bar = 350 kPa

For closed system we have m₁ = m₂ = m

ΔU = m×(u₂ - u₁) = ₁Q₂ -₁W₂

For constant pressure process we have

Work done = W = $\int\limits^a_b P \, dV$ = P×ΔV = P × (V₂ - V₁) = P×m×(v₂ - v₁)

From the tables we have

State 1 we have h₁ = (490.48 +489.52)/2 = 490 kJ/kg

State 2 gives h₂ = 206.75 + 0.75 × 194.57= 352.6775 kJ/kg

Therefore Q₁₂ = m×(u₂ - u₁) + W₁₂ = m × (u₂ - u₁) + P×m×(v₂ - v₁)

= m×(h₂ - h₁) = 2.0 kg × (352.6775 kJ/kg - 490 kJ/kg) =-274.645 kJ

A 2-m3insulated rigid tank contains 3.2 kg of carbon dioxide at 120 kPa.Paddle-wheel work is done on the system until the pressu

AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

The change in entropy is found to be 0.85244 KJ/k

Explanation:

In order to solve this question, we first need to find the ration of temperature for both state 1 and state 2. For that, we can use Charles' law. Because the volume of the tank is constant.

P1/T1 = P2/T2

T2/T1 = P2/P1

T2/T1 = 180 KPa/120KPa

T2/T1 = 1.5

Now, the change in entropy is given as:

ΔS = m(s2 - s1)

where,

s2 = Cv ln(T2/T1)

s1 = R ln(V2/V1)

ΔS = change in entropy

m = mass of CO2 = 3.2 kg

Therefore,

ΔS = m[Cv ln(T2/T1) - R ln(V2/V1)]

Since, V1 = V2, therefore,

ΔS = mCv ln(T2/T1)

Cv at 300 k for carbondioxide is 0.657 KJ/Kg.K

Therefore,

ΔS = (3.2 kg)(0.657 KJ/kg.k) ln(1.5)

Why is using the proper joining technique important? What could go wrong if the wrong joining technique is used?

Alex73 [517]

Answer:

Explanation:

Using the proper technique is incredibly important because it prevents the materials being joined from breaking and/or causing an accident. If the wrong joining technique is used the materials may not hold in place and come apart easily instead. Also, some joining techniques are not meant for some materials and may instead cause the material to become weak and brittle causing it to break apart almost immediately.
